GiP had a better case that Venezuela was violating the same clause with the photo of that merc that pissed himself while lying face down after capture.

And I can’t say that I agreed with that take.

Can't commit a war crime against a mercenary, not a legitimate combatant

you can, but only if the mercenary is a lawful combatant based on other criteria.


exactly. being “hors de combat” means you cannot be attacked. the Geneva convention defines it as:

quote:

A person is hors de combat if:

(a) he is in the power of an adverse Party;
(b) he clearly expresses an intention to surrender; or
(c) he has been rendered unconscious or is otherwise incapacitated by wounds or sickness, and therefore is incapable of defending himself;
provided that in any of these cases he abstains from any hostile act and does not attempt to escape.

that guy was clearly not in the power of an adverse party, expressing an intention to surrender or incapable of hostile acts.

edit: clarified I agreed with the poster

if being hors de combat was as easy as not having a weapon or retreating, warfare would end up being heavily optimized around it and would resemble a game of "not touching you"

No it wouldn't, because people would just commit war crimes. Like they already do on all sides constantly

War crimes are a silly concept.

It made more sense when the reason you gave for executing your enemies after the war was "Because we won."
